"Since my turbo stuff is pretty much coming to an end apart from mapping i've got bored. I took a good look at the sh*t under my bonnet today and decided its time for a clean up. When I say clean up I mean getting rid of certain things and adding others. I've decided that I need to start adding blue silicone tubing to the water lines and vacuum lines to brighten things up. Also the stock black electrical lines im going to replace with either blue ribbed piping or sliced silicone tubing. Also im going to add a bit of chrome from Lee at Fusion. These going to be the fusebox bonnet sills all liquid caps and fmic cover and possibly the cam cover. This was taken a few weeks back. Wires and components everywhere. I started by moving the ignitor pack and ABS relay underneith the frame. Already its looking a lot cleaner! Otherside of the engine still needs work. I need to move the battery into the boot but have to figure out how im going to do that first! Also I need a new disgreet coolant bottle to go under the chrome FMIC cover im getting which will cover this hole. Any input welcome also if anyone else is doing the same please add pics or anything to this post as it will come in usefull for other people."
jealous !!
Of what mate?
how good it looks and u know its not just for show
"Lol don't be daft! BTW just acquired some 2nd hand cam covers and fuel rail which im going to polish up... now to find a polishing machine or polisher lol"
"although it would be a bitch to keep clean try get a clear cam cover they look the dogs nuts!! id also recomend a steam clean on the engine always makes your rubber pipes etc look brand new. "
so there are some advantages to having a standard engine bay
"Standard sucks....lol We like to clean and polish and polish again... "
carbon fibre?
looking good mate..
